C. Coleman

Community Relations Advisor

Epidemiologist, MPH

Hi! My name C. Coleman and I'm an epidemiologist for Marion County. Within that capacity I work with the entire age spectrum incorporating the social determinants of health, my will to serve, and my motivation to improve the health of the community daily. One of my goals is for all individuals, particularly those with mental health concerns to feel seen and valued because we all have different experiences that challenge, excite, unite, and divide us. I bring a unique mindset with the goal of bridging different partners in our community with access to mental health services.

My spirituality guides a lot of my work and community engagement. In my spare time I give back to the Willamette Valley through various community events and organizations such as the Salem-Keizer NAACP, YMCA, and Highland Neighborhood Association. I also enjoy gardening, reading thrillers, swimming, and hiking.
